A country - A nation
The nation of diverse roots and beginnings
Hailed with different aspirations and dreams
Echoed as one in its altar's and state's affairs
People of great devotion to God, and
Human beings whose journey blends to survive
In every details of life, across the globe
Love of others is their deep expression of care
In every corners of the world it is then tied, thus,
Philosophy, embedded with maikug and pohon;
Psychology, shaped with pakikisama and utang na loob
Is the highest value that, made them an icon of service
Near and far; across the seas and beyond the mountains
Even unto the skies their legacy is penned
So as too, to be remembered - the pearl of the orient
